so why aren't there more 2ohm speakers?

[jrdnhsnbrg]

CDT makes 2 ohm versions

I have a set of polk mm 6/9's that are two ohm, and they actually sound pretty decent on the factory installed boston acoustic amps.

In answer to the title question.... because the market hasn't demanded it.

If there were sufficient demand for 2Ω mid/high speakers, they would be in ready supply.

anyone know how a stock hu can Handel these 2ohm speakers?

My jbls read 3.7 ohms so I'm guessing that's how. They were no where near the 2 ohm rating. Makes me kinda hate jbl. Head units shouldn't be able to handle a real 2 ohm load.

Did you short your leads to see what the meter read before you measured the speakers?

JBL and Infinity use "True 4 Ohm" marketing terminology with a 2 ohm speaker because they say your factory speaker wires will add roughly 2 ohms. It all changes with music playing anyway.

there are alot that do it especially kicker/stillwater old schools, but in all honesty the lower the ohm rating usually the sh1ttier the sound...

I never understood this. If you look at subwoofers' date=' lower ohm rating meant lower QTS and QES, which means better cone control and sound quality.[/quote']
Correct me if Im wrong.

I always thought less ohms = more bass (punch) over the sound quality(clarity)

and more ohms = less bass (punch) and more sound quality (clarity)

I didn't short the leads, and I refuse to believe their marketing terminology. I bought the amp for the 2 ohm power and the jbls are only drawing a 4 ohm load from the amp. I could have got some regular 4 ohm speakers. I haven't seen 2 ohms added while playing music.

yeah my stillwaters sounded good too, but finding some 2 ohm 6x9's to match is hassle....
